While 2012 proved to be a good year for the state, economic development leaders said this week much more work needs to be done to create jobs and reach out to firms looking to do business in Ohio.

A forum conducted at the Chillicothe Country Club this week brought together people involved in business, economic development and other sectors to discuss the progress of the JobsOhio program and the Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth, both of which have played an important role in the state's economic growth, said John Minor, JobsOhio president and chief investment officer.
